Kinda like the guy who sent the armed forces to the Gulf, right?

You both have about the same IQ.
You mean by being pretty fuckin smart to marry in to Demi's world, and to also be creating and producing your own show (Punk'd) as well as being part of a VERY successful sitcom?
You know what's coming next:
Shaddup, DUMBASS!!! :D
Knowing and believing are two very different things.
It is the difference between the knowledge we accrue... ...and the knowledge we apply.

Where the fuck does Hollywood come up with these glorified stories of the military? LOL In real life it's 90% waiting and moving shit around and 10% action--1% if your not in a grunt unit. Since I was in a Marine Air Wing I was more worried about an accident or helo collision than I was dying in a rocket attack. Hell if they made a movie about my expierience in the Marine Corps, then you'd all be bored shitless expect for the funny shit we do during a slow time. The Comedy we came up with in the shop was funnier than what SNL is nowadays. :D BTW, once I have access to my cannon scanner I'll upload the pics I took in Iraq.
The military is a machine commanded by the elected presiident. I personally don't agree with how Bush is using our armed forces. I also realize the military is composed of individual people. Some are friends of mine. I know one person in the National Guard who has been away from his family for over a year. I've seen how hard it's been on his wife and children. A founder of this website is also doing the same. No way am I going to tell these people they are wasting their time and lives. I don't agree with the politics but we are over there now. For one thing, I was happy to see the huge voter turnout in Iraq for the last election. How many of us would go out and vote with someone trying to kill you? Was the war a mistake or will it change the world for the better? It's too soon to tell. I do not agree with President Bush on many things, that is why I did not vote for him. Some here think Bush was not legally elected and there is a vast conspiracy behind him. We all have our oppinions. The system isn't perfect. We have had bad presidents, senators, congressmen, and supreme court judges before. I'm glad to see people care about our govt. because when the citizens get passive is when the SOB's take advantage of it. Nobody normal likes war, but this is where we find ourselves. The way I see it, anyone risking their life away from home because they represent my country deserves a huge "Thank You!". We are there now, we might as well try and do some good. It's the middle east, all hell can break loose nomatter what we do. Many have forgotten we were attacked. What were we suppossed to do? Sit here and do nothing? Like all nations, our leaders have taken advantage of the situation. Bush and Chenney are war profiteers but regardless of their fiddle faddle, we would be somewhere in the middle east because of the terrorist attacks. Shit Happens. It's a complicated world and every now and then, the shit flys nomatter what people do. That's life.

Doesn't sound to anti-war to me.
Yes but that's the guy in the beginning. By then end of the book/movie he's quite disillusioned.
